🗃️ ALE Populating Student Learning Plans with Classes from the SIS (Connect)

Here you will learn to add courses to wSLPs based on a student’s class schedule in your district's Student Information System (SIS). We have a tool that allows you to populate wSLPs with courses based on a student's SIS schedules. This can be done simultaneously for a single student or en masse for all active learning plans. 

Several steps must be taken to complete this task: 

1. A student learning plan must be initiated for each student for the current school year. 
2. Students must be enrolled in classes in the SIS, and a successful migration must occur to allow that information to populate in the ALE application. 
3. Courses for each class a student is enrolled in must be built in the ALE Application. 
4. The Manage SIS Classes Utility must be used to identify which Course in the ALE app matches each Class in the SIS. 
5. Then you’re ready to complete the Execute Mass Apply SIS Classes to Current wSLPs procedure.

Manage SIS Classes Utility 

1. In the Data Administrator Role, start under Manage ALE Data in the left navigation menu, choose SIS Data, and then Manage SIS Classes. 
2. This table lists all SIS classes with student enrollments. SIS classes with no enrollment will not populate this table. If new SIS classes or class sections are created at a later date, you will need to return to this page and link them to an ALE Course after students have been enrolled and the classes are migrating to us.
3. Click the Row Actions Gear to the far right and choose Edit ALE Course Association.
   1. Click the magnifying glass in the ALE Course field, then check the course checkbox.
   2. Click Save.
4. You must make this association for each course on the Student Learning Plans. Any classes without this association will not be transferred over when the utility is run. 

Mass Apply SIS Classes to Current wSLPs Utility. 

1. In the Data Administrator Role, start under Manage ALE Data in the left navigation menu, choose SIS Data, and then Mass Apply SIS Classes to Current wSLPs. 

2. Click the Generate Subject/Courses button. This will populate the current year wSLPs with courses based on the student’s SIS class schedule.

Additional Notes: 

• When this procedure runs, a new wSLP course will not be added if a current wSLP course on the Student Learning Plan is already tied to that ClassId (i.e., records will not be duplicated).
• If a student is enrolled in the two sections of the same SIS class, only one ALE course will be added to the wSLP.

What Data Comes from Where?

When courses created from SIS classes are added to Student Learning Plans, it is important to know which data comes from which source.
